Skyfire ‘Esoteric’
LABEL: Pivotal Rockordings
STYLE: Metal
RELEASE DATE: Sept 18th 2009
FORMAT: Cd & Download
CAT NO: PR005
Esoteric is SKYFIRE’s first full-length album in over five years. With this
offering we find a revitalized band, which encompasses two new band members
as well as multiple orchestra and choir samples, adding subtlety to the
bombastic overtones. Esoteric still maintains the melodic sensibility that
SKYFIRE has been known for but with a re-vamped and something-to-prove
attitude to boot. New members Joakim Karlsson (vocals; MARK:BLACK) and
Johan Reinholdz (guitars; ANDROMEDA, NONEXIST) help the band deliver its
strongest performance to date. Karlsson's mid-range growl helps ground the
epic onslaught while Marty Friedman-inspired guitar solos from Reinholdz
showcase yet again that SKYFIRE is not afraid to journey into uncharted
territory.
Longtime fans expecting SKYFIRE's unparalleled use of melody will love
hits such as "Under a Pitch Black Sky" and "Rise and Decay," while those
who enjoyed SKYFIRE's folk and neoclassical dabbling will immediately take
to cuts such as "Seclusion" and "The Legacy of the Defeated." Conversely,
Esoteric features one of SKYFIRE's most brutal and chaotic songs to date in
"Darkness Descending." A treat for the fans, Esoteric also includes
“Within Reach,” a bonus song taken from the first ever SKYFIRE demo
recording which has never surfaced until now.
Esoteric's epic visual artwork is designed by acclaimed artist Pär
Olofsson (EXODUS, THE FACELESS) and layout design by CULT OF LUNA's Erik
Olofsson. All music was recorded at the band’s own Powernest Studios while
mixing and mastering was handled by Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR SYMMETRY, SONIC
SYNDICATE, ZONARIA, THE ABSENCE). Vocals for all tracks were produced by
THE FORSAKEN guitarist Patrik Persson.
Esoteric is the face of a rejuvenated SKYFIRE—dead set on picking up from
where they left off with 2004’s Spectral so get ready: SKYFIRE is reborn!
